iHiisiM P ' ' Wssjut ' HILLTOPS The hills of home were low and broad. I ' d clinihed them all and staj-ed Long hours ' neath the summer sun Or in the evening shade. 1 was content with my small lot. The stars were far awa}-. Life was so easy, eflfortless. The future bright and gay. But suddenly I felt unrest, A deep, insistent cry To leave the low hills I had known. To reach up to the sky. To climb the high hills, higher yet, To stretch my arms afar. To rock the cradle of a moon. And touch the farthest star. The years have passed, the way is steep, I have not scaled the heights. Hut a Power great beyond my ken I las led my steps aright. Mv burden ' s growing lighter. For with each ])assing day I learn another lesson To help me on my way. And still my steps lead upward. Aly face is toward the sky. Still is my desire I ' ligh as the hills are high. Lll reach the hilltop, higher yet. And stretch my arms afar; I ' ll rock the cradle of a moon. And touch the farthest star ! Arlciic rr. Kcllcy. page tzvenly-cifihl

' E m:im 0 tMiairi ADVANCED SENIORS Teaching is the hill of our desires and anihitinns. During our first year we were placed in a new environment, away from ]irevious influences and were made more independent. Many lasting friendships were formed and we shaped the foot of our hill with preliminary knowledge through observation and study. The second year developed our knowledge and gave us jiractical association with our work through |)ractice teaching. We are now completing our three years ' training in Gorham Normal School and we have a clearer view of that hilltop. Our work was based on a very simple philosophy of government — the use of our jiersona! character and initiative as the ]iriine re(|uisites in educational and social life. W ' itli the background we have gained through the excellent coojieration of the faculty, we face our hilltop with foresight and great joy because it means financial independence and a resjiected yiVdCf in the ccminuinity with an onjiortunity to benefit through educating children.
